Marina Paul is the author of Becoming a Superhero and the founder of SPRHRA, a women’s sports apparel brand launched in January 2024. A former Georgetown University soccer player, she overcame personal struggles, including depression, eating disorders, and ACL injuries, to become the team’s first-ever 3-time captain and lead them to a Final Four appearance, earning All-American honors.
